Forever Alone

You know, I thought life was suppose to be easy. 
To let go of the people you love 
then feel like you still love them….
then realize they have moved on. 
Why do people want to love?
Everyone wants love it seems like.
Love is what keeps you going.
Ask yourself...
Do you want something that ruins you?
Rips you to pieces,
Makes you feel on top of the world,
But in the end,
It stabs you in the back over and over again.
Making you feel numb,
Wanting to just let go of everything,
Go back to the same depression you started with,
And realizing you'll never get to experience love...
With the one person that makes you happy.
Life hurts so bad but its also a greatfull gift to have.

Distance

Hurt
I wish we talked
Just like before
Silence, its whats between us
We used to be close
But now you got your eye on...well..someone else
Broken
I can't keep this hidden feeling to myself anymore
I love you
What?! No! I can't
Why do I have this irrational fear you won't love me
What you made me feel is amazing
I can't undo all of this
Strong
Your laugh, your smile, your everything
You've made me realize what love actually is
And I hope you know that after all of this
In the end.. 
You still won't even know
That I was the girl who fell in love with you

What Could'Ve Been Happiness

Spilling out all of your problems is a hard thing to do
Some people just wont understand so you keep it to you
Periodically you'll give out one single clue
Hoping that anyone will realize that you're feeling blue
Finally, when you're starting off new
You notice someone pretty fricken cool

Days past and you find everything in this person unique
You even point out that their eyebrows are on fleek
When you look at them you immediately start to freak
As time flies by, all you want is a kiss on the cheek

You grow closer just like you had hoped
Until that person gave someone else their coat
Knowing this all could’ve been provoked
All you can do now is just sit and write a note..

You say..

“What I felt was something real
You were my knight that held the shield
I know all I’ve done was kept my lips sealed
I just naturally keep things inside, concealed

All I have now is memories and a simple shirt
I should've let it out but instead I feel hurt
What you thought was nothing I thought was me, a flirt

I'm sorry I wasn't me sometimes
When I saw you with her it made me go blind
If you're wondering why I always hide
Why?! Well I just wanna sit and cry

You make me feel like I can do anything
Its the best feeling ever but with a touch of sting
I always imagine you being my king
Off together my heart shall sing

Now that I’ve said my word
You may think this is very absurd."

At the end just remember that I was the girl that cared, appreciated and loved...you

Hiding It All

Locked myself in the bathroom 
Threw my body to the floor
Tears fall down my skinny chest
Pain rushes through every inch of me
Questions run through my mind
Tearing at my soul
Adding on a headache
I cling onto something worth while
Waiting for it to be over
I begin to cry silently
Not even letting out a breath
Pushing it out with no sound
Standing there I can barely hold myself up
Looking in the mirror
Noticing my puffed up eyes
Wiping away any weakness showing
Studying all scars that started 6 months ago
Wishing that help is near
Now my mind has to go back to
Hiding it all

Safe Pain

the most gruesome pain comes from the safest of places
-why must our minds trick us-
